This course provides students with an in-depth understanding of managing people and performance that is academically sound and professionally relevant.The effective management of an organisation’s human capital, and the sustainability of that human capital, are major management responsibilities. This course promotes an in-depth understanding of the human resource management systems organisations can utilise to effectively manage their human capital, and in so doing enhance organisational performance.The course focuses on the application of human resource management strategies and practices in real organisational settings. As such the course aims to provide students with both in-depth knowledge of human resource management principles and theory, as well as the skills to apply this knowledge in a practical manner. An applied and case-based teaching approach is adopted. Lectures will include examples of human resource management practices used in successful New Zealand, Australian and other international businesses. Regular case study discussions will contribute significantly to your learning in MBUS603, as will presentations from industry guest speakers.Topics include:• An introduction to HRM and HR strategy• Strategic Human Resource Planning• The analysis and design of work• Attracting talent - Contemporary employee recruitment• Selecting talent - The science of employee selection• Developing and retaining talent• Managing employee performance• Employee motivation, engagement and wellbeing• Rewarding performance• International Human Resource Management

Analyse situations in organisational settings and determine what problems exist, which HRM systems may have bearing on the problem, and what interventions (e.g., changes to HRM systems) are appropriate responses.2. Discuss how responses to individual employee and HRM system issues must be aligned with and can contribute to the overall strategic direction of the organisation.3. Apply knowledge of HRM systems in proposing solutions to organisational problems, and as a means to enhance individual and organisational performance.4.
